Establishing their vineyard in 1999, Gerry McConnell and wife Dara Gordon have been growing their grapes organically since the beginning and are now certified organic. The Gaspereu Valley has a climate very similar to Champagne in France, and thus the more delicate grapes that would flourish in France will do so here, keeping McConnell busy creating much-loved Nova Scotia sparkling wine in conditions leaving the smallest possible environmental imprint. Two words: Nova 7.
Curious, creative and inspired by its eccentric geography, Benjamin Bridge’s timeless taste and innovative spirit are elevating Nova Scotia wine culture.
